Organized into three sections, this book covers all the disorders and problems that are amenable to behavioral approaches. Part One presents a general overview of behavior therapy with children and adolescents, along with a brief history of the factors that have shaped it and a look at the emerging trends that will determine its future. The second and third sections are composed of
clinical studies of specific disorders and their treatments. Part Two covers disorders and problems of childhood; Part Three covers those of adolescents. Each contributor presents a case study to help illustrate the descriptive, theoretical, and research material. Case descriptions are a unique feature of this textbook in that they illustrate the clinician's conceptualization of the problem, assessment, treatment and followup, and booster treatment. |
